Blood of an Enemy Update - 2/25

I am now up to 62 handwritten pages on this story.
I am writing roughly 10 pages a day in between orientation and training for work, as well all the things I have to do at home.  So far, the flow of the story is still going strong.  I can't not work on it or I get antsy feeling I've left something important undone.  This is a good thing.  I actually was in the middle of a good scene when I had to leave for work on Friday but happily, I was able to return to where I left off when I got home, finishing the scene in the same energy as I'd begun it.
Once this week of training is done, I'll only be working weekends so I'll be able to more fully focus on my writing.  I am already thinking of cover art ideas.

Writing Update/Playlist

Writing Update

My playlist is not complete, but there are enough songs on it to help me write. I have written 10 pages on Blood of an Enemy so far.  I've finally found my flow with it, and I'm pleased with the results I'm getting.  I plan to write more on the story today, get at least another 10 pages or so on it.  I'd like to get the rough draft done, completely, in about a month's time.

Jordan mentioned how many writers are using playlists to write by, and I have to agree with him.  Most of the writers I've talked to over the years have mentioned having music they write by.  It gives us a sound track of sorts.  I use the music to help me stay focused on my story, keeping me in the mood and mindset.  I am picky about the songs I choose, and it's the music more than the words that stir me.  I can't understand Rammstein but I love the music and the sound of their voices.

Let me know if you use a playlist and what bands you choose to have on them.
